ehh... rockband looks a bit more cleaner, easier, and fresher with the gameplay. Not everything is all out and spread like rockband 3 is... And i hate how ppl keep sayin rocksmith is the first game to incorporate real guitar... even though i still think music critics (babies) are overated in making the realness happen music video games, because i still prefer buttons over strings all day, and learn on my own time.... im not too excited yet not too bummed about this...
